    Yes this was a mistake...I should just let him play on a swingset...much less force on his body...Wait?!?!?!?! Um?!?!?! Oh yeah....no it's not!

  • I hope all of you idiots saying he shouldn't lift realize that there is almost 0 evidence in the scientific literature saying that strength training affects growth plates or testosterone production in children. CITE SOMETHING OR STFU. And yes, citing the AMA's recommendation that children shouldn't strength train is baseless because they have based their recommendation on NOTHING.

    Given that the training from an early age will reduce his chances of crippling injury, decrease his chances of injuries in sports, increase his performance in sports, give him a good work ethic, lengthen his life, make him look better, and make him stronger, all with something like 3.5 thousand injuries reported in the ENTIRE US from weight lifting, which is utterly dwarfed by injury reports from EVERY OTHER SPORT, yes.

  • @Draykid I belive that is true. But still, is it worth the risk?

  • @atgcuz Base my facts on studies? Where did you find those facts about my "fat friend who plays world of warcraft all day and says lifting weights is bad"?

  • LEGIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • @DahlstromHD

    I've seen studies which suggest that training at a high intensity for a child (when in care of a coach) has almost 0 potential for damage- less, statistically and in fact, than any other sport.

  • @lolzgym

    lmfao

  • @DahlstromHD

    Just because it's your opinion, does not mean it's correct. Either get a degree in physiology and do a study, or stfu.

  • Adorable. I hope he keeps at it. However, I didn't like how he stepped back from the guard rails. But you were there so it's okay.

  • @DahlstromHD

    >if

    what "if" i can fly

  • > mfw he will legitimately be able to say "I train since child" in the future

    > mfw I have no face
